The best place to 'know' that you are using extensor action properly is from impact to both arms straight. You should absolutely feel the right arm extension - the idea behind the "shake hands with your target" image.

Most people haven't felt this move before because they are not working from the ground up, from inside, and hence are 'out and over' with the right shoulder.

Use the split grip drill and move simply from impact fix to both arms straight. Do this without a ball, and in balance (eyes closed is one of the single best drills you can do). Brian's 'twist away' move is a very powerful addition to 6B1D. Check for a proper grip (10-2B) and work on these ideas.

When you really feel that right arm extend without 'doing', move to punch shots.

6B1D is certainly one of the single most imporant concepts in TGM IMO.
